UFG1C221MPM

The UFG1C221MPM is a high grade aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series, designed for high-grade audio and AV equipment. It is a radial-lead, polarized can-type capacitor optimized for applications where sonic character and reliable electrical performance are important.

Key electrical and mechanical attributes include 220 µF capacitance at 16 V, radial lead mounting with 5 mm lead spacing, an operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C, and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 220 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, specified at 120 Hz and 20 °C.
• Audio-oriented Series — Part of the UFG "Fine Gold" MUSE acoustic series; described for richer bass response and clearer high end in AV and high-grade audio equipment.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and physical size L: 1.25 × D: 1 cm, suitable for through-hole PCB mounting.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Rated for operation from −40 °C to +85 °C with an endurance specification of 1000 hours at 85 °C.
• Ripple Current Capability — Specified ripple current of 226 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 339 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency), supporting typical audio and AV power conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Design — Polarized aluminum electrolytic construction for DC filtering, decoupling, and power-supply smoothing in audio circuits.

Typical Applications

• High-Fidelity Audio Equipment — Used in preamplifiers, amplifiers, and audio signal paths where the UFG series’ acoustic characteristics (richer bass, clearer high end) are desirable.
• AV and Home Theater Electronics — Employed on power rails and decoupling networks in AV receivers and source equipment to support stable power delivery and audible performance.
• General Purpose Electronic Circuits — Suited for DC filtering and smoothing in consumer and professional electronic devices that accept a radial, through-hole capacitor.

Unique Advantages

• Acoustic-focused Character: Part of Nichicon’s "Fine Gold" MUSE series, offering a described sound signature—richer bass and clearer high end—targeted at audio/AV designs.
• Compact Radial Can Package: Small footprint (L: 1.25 × D: 1 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole PCB implementation.
• Measured Ripple Performance: Specified ripple current values at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz provide designers defined limits for power-supply decoupling in audio circuits.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −40 °C to +85 °C rating with a 1000-hour endurance at 85 °C, enabling predictable performance over extended thermal stress.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in regulated markets and products.
